She waited long and limber down the gravel road just past the lanes of oldest oak breaking day in tunnels A special place where Irish lore somehow managed to harmonize with the gales of Cherokee in long cried streams of stones the wail was cold, but beautiful She heard them speak beneath the trees she ran into the highest fields of corn to suffer there in her mane of strawberry briar hair deciphering the language through a writing spider’s web She was the only one that felt the nudge of hens crowing morn born to sing lullabies beneath thistle snow to dance upon moss rocks scarring, marking her making her strong enough to be drug by a strangers horse As she sat on tin roofed edge and called the rain by name looking away when the banshee screamed Instead she dreamed of her first kiss knowing she’d never belong to anyone as her old soul mourned with different eyes and her dangling legs trembled timber length she slowly disappeared |

Oh WOW! I hope you post this on your homepage, as I can't even pick a favorite part. I wanted it to go on and on! Going to send it around obviously it fell way to fast as this is excellent writing Regina.

"born to sing lullabies beneath thistle snow to dance upon moss rocks" This is truly and wonderful work of art, Regina. You really are a soul born to dance over the moss. |

Hello Regina Your words always seem to carry me away to another place in time, a place filled with love and wonder. The way you write is so very unique and so much enjoyed by me. I don't see you here very often but when I do it always brings with it a smile and a feeling of warmth. Take care my friend.......Sue Suetang |

great writing...you have such nice imagery here... 'as her old soul mourned with different eyes and her dangling legs trembled timber length she slowly disappeared' this is an excellent finish.. one line stood out though, and seemed very awkward, and that was the 'drug by a horse' it's just very heavy...and I'm thinking it might be better to rethink it... Over all...a pleasure to read..  K |

Larry: Thanks for the treat!! Interloper: I thank you for reading them as they were meant dear poet! Appreciate your verse as well! Kay: We are mutual then. It is a gift that only exists in sharing! Thank you so much. Michael: I truly appreciate your thoughts. This one was a bit deep. Many thanks. Sven: Yes..my eyes have seen the glory of returning. Thank you Sven Pen. Vandana: I enjoy you so!! Severn: Very perceptive poet. I appreciate such depth in review. Actually..that line..was the reason she disappeared for a while..but she is back now. It represented the harsh within the soft. And how the soft can still overcome. Thank you again. Sincerely, Regina |

Regina, This reminds me of a poem I wrote called I Saw Her in the Rain -- where grace, beauty and femininity disappears. An aching piece. I love yr work. Mike |
